Risikat Donkor BSc (hons), FDs, MBACP
As a qualified psychodynamic therapist and reiki practitioner, registered with the BACP and BAATN, I have developed a signature way of working by merging western traditional approaches with indigenous and ancestral wisdom. I believe that healing needs to be worked on all levels beyond the physical to promote healing, balance, transformation and personal growth.
​
As a psychodynamic therapist, I infuse this approach with intercultural therapy and CBT. I am also influenced by black feminist perspectives, narrative therapy and spirituality outside of the context of religion.
​
My reiki practitioner training allows me to further compliment these methods using energy healing, breathwork and relaxation exercises such as meditation and guided visualizations where appropriate.
​
I add to these methods aspects of indigenous African mythology and Jungian archetypes to help deepen the connection with ourselves and our internal wisdom.
